Feel free to hit him up and tell him how awesome his artwork is, I know I will!

UPDATE: The artist contacted us and provided TWO MORE IMAGES of these amazing MOTU LEGO Minifigs – check them out here!

OK, so more about the Masters of the Universe LEGO Minifigures. I know these are not real, but it got me thinking- I bet these are not as far from being a reality as you think. Just two years ago, would you ever imagine we’d see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles LEGOs? I certainly did not.

MOTU would most certainly need a reboot of some kind that would need to be somewhat kid-targeted for LEGO to see as an anchor to build a new line around. They have shown that they are super-aggressive when it comes to acquiring licenses of child-of-the-80s-friendly properties (see: Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Batman, TMNT). Sure, kids snap up these sets too, but they know how crazy we old-guy collectors go for these things.

Now I realize if we ever got MOTU LEGO, they would not sell the individual figures in blind bags like this, but they’d be part of larger sets. I’m daydreaming of a breakdown kinda like this:

Let’s not stop there. Thundercats, Ghostbusters and Back to the Future have been produced as Minimates, but that wouldn’t preclude LEGO from acquiring the license would it? Judging by the BTTF example alone, no, it would not.

It’s not likely that Hasbro would ever relinquish their hold on the mini-block G.I. Joe license, with Kre-O being in house.

What are some other properties you could see (or would love to see) get the LEGO treatment?

The only way it could possibly happen is if Classic Media were to license out the Filmation likeness to Lego. Pretty sure Mattel® has a say in that too though. All the license BS gets confusing so I could be wrong. I hope I’m wrong!
